It's actually pretty complicated. Pretty much whole tech ecosystem originally got bankrolled by mil. spending. Some mil. spending is basically subsidies to Boeing etc. which in turn competes with Airbus which basically gets direct subsidies. So it would be pretty complicated to figure out all the effects.
- village-idiot 8y agoFor certain, the US couldn’t just skip the wars and pocket exactly $1.5T, but we definitely could’ve avoided spending most of that, or spent it in more economically useful ways, even if subsidies to Boeing to compete with airbus is one of them.
